Ford increases Ranger production.

how did they screw up the Taurus (best selling sedan from 92-96) Explorer (was best selling SUV for like 13 years) and Ranger (Best selling compact pickup from 1987 to 2004)

But they did.

If they came out with a quad cab that had a usable bed, I'd buy it in an instant. That Explorer SportTrack doesn't work for me -- niether form nor function.

I want one too, but the only way were gonna get one is put a Jetta TDI engine in one cause Ford is not going to.

Now that would be a great mod.

I hate Ford for not treating the Ranger better........
they could sell the hell out of them, if they'd just restyle them!!!

The Ranger is on borrowed time, Ford was originally going to kill it altogether after '09. I suspect if sales drop off before the next truck is ready they will kill it then. The tooling has to be paid for by now, it is just gravy money for them as long as it pays the light bill and labor to build them.

Tell me about it. I wanted a 4-door supercab, 2wd, 4 cyl. and the dealer told me you can't get a 4 cyl. in a 4-door supercab only a 2-door supercab. If you want a 4-door supercab you have to get the 4.0L V-6. Can someone tell me why, this is stupid. You can get a Nissan Frontier in a 4-door xtracab, 4 cyl.
Ford and any other company are in no position to be putting on restrictions of what you can and can not order with the state of economy today.

Because you can burn more money making freaky one off trucks that only one person will buy than you will make on it. That is why custom ordered vehicles have been getting fewer and fewer options since the 70's.

It also could be that the Ranger with its four cylinder is transformed into a gutless turd with the extra weight.

I was talking to a Ford dealership yesterday and the manager said Ford wants to do away with the Ranger all together and have the Ranger owners use them ( the Ranger ) as a trade in on either the F 150 or Raptor. He said they see the Ranger as out dated and a waste of money. So he said anyways. Wouldn't surprise me if it is true though.
